Hi,
How to store a variable value for more than one executions.
Ex:
main()
{
int i=0;
i++;
printf("%d",i);
}
For first execution output should be 1
For Second execution output should be 2
nth exection output should be n
Any help is appreciated
Thnaks in Advance

More than one execution? Can't be done without resorting to external
storage, the only Standard kind of which are files.
main() { int i=0; i++; printf("%d",i); }
For first execution output should be 1 For Second execution output should be 2
Like this, you can't do that. You'll need to write the value of i to a
file at the end of the program, and then read it back when you start the
next execution. There is no keyword like "static-but-larger", if that's
what you were looking for.

You could store the value of i in a file, or in an environment variable.

In a file, yes, but how do you set an environment variable from C?

On a Unix-like system, you can use the setenv(3) library function. I believe
this is also a documented part of the C90 standard, but I haven't checked it
to confirm.
| int
| setenv(const char *name, const char *value, int overwrite);
It's worth noting that an environment variable will persist across multiple
executions, provided they happen in the same environment. In other words, if
you log out, your environment is gone. If that's an issue, it's probably a
better idea to write a file instead.

Hey
If you have a static variable in a function and call that function from
main() then you would have access to the previous value of the
variable. For eg:
#include <stdio.h>
void func()
{
static int i=0;
i++;
printf("%d",i);
}
int main()
{
func();
func();
return 0;
}
So, when you 1st enter func(), i would be innitialised to 0. then its
incremented. Now when you again come to the same function, you would
have the last value of i (that is 1) and you can play with that value
and so on..
However, you want it for different executions of the function func() or
for different executions of the program ?
If its former then above solution should work fine, else if it's latter
than I guess copying the last value to a text file should work.
Thanks!! and have a nice day!!

You're wrong. Environment is kept per process. The process finishes,
its environment is gone.

You don't, it appears. You should be able to get an environment variable in
ISO C, but the way to set it is implementation defined. Thanks for pointing
that out. :-) I believe this is also a documented part of the C90 standard, but I haven't checked it to confirm.
It is not.
You're right. I should have checked. Only getenv() is documented:
| 7.20.4.5 The getenv function
| [...]
| The getenv function searches an environment list, provided by the host
| environment, for a string that matches the string pointed to by name.
| The set of environment names and the method for altering the environment
| list are implementation-defined.
| [...]
Sorry for straying off-topic there.

No, it isn't. If you do man setenv you will probably see something like
"conforming to BSD 4.3" and possibly POSIX.1, not to the C standards.
However, it doesn't do what you want anyway, it modifies the current
environment not the parent environment so when the program exits that
environment is lost and set up from the environment of the parent
(shell) when the program is executed again.
| int | setenv(const char *name, const char *value, int overwrite);
It's worth noting that an environment variable will persist across multiple executions, provided they happen in the same environment.
No, it won't unless it is done in the parent environment. There is
nothing in Unix/POSIX which allows you to change the parent environment
(or in MSDOS, at least not portably from one version to another).
Followups set to comp.unix.progr ammer where it is on topic.
In other words, if you log out, your environment is gone. If that's an issue, it's probably a better idea to write a file instead.
That is the only portable way to do persistent variables in C (or most
other languages, although some provide library facilities to make it
easy).
